| The Future of Audio Amplification Nobody cares about class T?People consider class T as in the same category with class D? | |
| Preamp to preamp Thanks for all responses.Well, my question was not exactly based on my system.I have Plinius CD-LAD and recently acquired ARC LS3. I also have a Plinius M16P but it is in a shop for service. In comparison, I like LS3 (p1) better than CD-LAD (p2) e... | |
| Experience on replacing capacitors of SS preamp? First, the preamp is old, second there is an audible hum even at the lowest volume. Also, I’ve read many glorious stories of old preamps sounding much better after recaps, so I want to give a try by myself.There are only 4 caps with + signs, so re... | |
| Experience on replacing capacitors of SS preamp? The preamp is AR LS3.The schematic is available on line. https://www.vintageshifi.com/repertoire-pdf/pdf/telecharge.php?pdf=Audio-Research-LS3-LS3B-Schematic...There are 32 capicators. All of them need to be changed? | |
| Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection I also have read that statement: For the very best performance on domestic 100 or 120 volt circuits the 150M should be connected to its own AC power circuit branch protected by a 20 amp breaker.That's why I thought about having a dedicated 20A cir... | |

| Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection I contacted ARC service and asked a question about this amp over two weeks ago, but no response yet.Most of time, it is more responsive and sometimes more detailed response I get from online forum than the manufacture's customer service. So far so... | |
| Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection I purchased an ARC 150M two channel.The amp has 10A fuse, so I guess it is fine with 15A receptacle.I bought an adapter, not a cable, and use the adapter with my 12 AWG power cable. I ordered 10 AWG power cable with 15A male and 20A female, and I ... | |
| Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection So, I can just use an adapter, and everything is solved?All the C19 female type power cord I found in Amazon seem to have either 15A male type plug with 14AWG, or 20A male type plug with 12 AWG. The cable has to be 12 AWG (or higher, like 10 AWG),... | |
| CDs Vs LPs With Magi phono ($1000), Grado Gold ($260), Clear Audio turntable with arm ($1200), the total is under $2500 which is close to Arcam FMJ 23CD player ($2000). This setup is much less expensive than my more expensive setup (Grado 301 + Ortofon RMG 3... | |
| CDs Vs LPs In my case, SS or tube amps don't matter much in determining which source is better. Both clearly showed LPs are far better than CDs.I've had BAT tube power/pre amps and now have Plinius SS power/pre amps. In both cases, LPs sound much better. The... | |
| CDs Vs LPs Clearly LPs over CDs.Well then, my LP gears (phono preamp, stylus, arm, turntable) are much more expensive than my CD player, costing about $7K vs $2K.The most expensive stylus I have had is Ortofon SPU Gold Reference, which is about the same pric... | |
| Audio Repair - How long do you expect to get yours fixed? There are no repair shops locally for my gears. They are heavy. So, I drove 5 hours. That is my dilemma. It's been exactly 5 weeks since I dropped them off. I had an option to ship them to a more renowned repair shop, but the shipping back and f... | |
| Audio Repair - How long do you expect to get yours fixed? Thanks for your response.In my case, it's been over 4 weeks since I dropped them (one power amp, two preamps, and one turntable) off.So far, I don't know whether the service shop even started to take a look at them. When I asked about them, the on... |
